White Queen inspired look

since seeing Alice in Wonderland, i can't help but admire the character's makeup. i really am itching to do Red Queen's but am pressed for time today so i thought it'll be easy to copy White Queen's instead.



L'Egere BB cream
Joppa Medium Light #3
Aromaleigh URFP Peaches and Cream
Shu Uemura Pro Spot concealer (undereye and lids)
Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing - brows
L'Oreal Telescopic mascara - lashes
Milani Minerals Luminous blush
Laura Mercier Creme Lip Colour in Seduction
Laura Mercier Shimmer Lip Colour in Amaretto (on top of Seduction)

initially i thought, "this look is going to be simple to recreate". so not true! look at me, very dark black brows don't suit me at all haha i almost looked like a guy. ~LMAO~ very prominent lip shade also seem to not look very flaterring on me overall as my lips are already full to start with - putting on dark lip shades made it look even fatter. haha. oh well, but this look was fun to try. :) if there will be a challenge on this look, it would be the very pasty white face. it suited Anne because she's white to begin with. it could more fun to wear a white wig as well. ;)

maybe i really should've stick with Red Queen's look? i should work on concealing my brows if i will still continue my attempt with that one hehe.

i got BELOfied!

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us

Terrific hairday at Affascinante Salon

Image
I recently went back to Manila for vacation since my kids had a one week school holiday and I had to see my Uro for my followup checkup (have you heard, am stone-free already - thank GOD!!!). One of the plans that materialized during that trip is having my daughter's hair rebonded - for the first time - and getting my hair colored since my regrow is showing already. I went straight to my trusted stylist, Wheng of Affascinante Salon. My daughter before rebonding: My daughter after rebonding: Huge difference right? My daughter can't hide her excitement. She now appreciates beauty a li'l more - she hates putting on makeup because it takes a lot effort she says. Ah, we're total opposites hehe. Of course, it's the mother's turn next! I didn't have a before picture though I took after shots in different lighting. Btw, i asked Wheng to color my hair reddish brown. Also, in case you're wondering she used Framesi coloring products.
